| After having been delighted with th,
dog show, and fondled and made mucl
Of all the good, bad and Indifferent pup
pies, It 10 quite proper that the cattl,
show, which followed, should call fortl
an equal amount Of enthusiasm. Such ar
affair has never been in New York be
fore, and the smartest people in the cit,
went day after day, admired til,
glossy blackness Of the Holsteins
trembled If one Of the enormous bulll
even gave start, and stroked with ap
probation the lovely Alderneys and Jer

| gotten the taste of milk, drank quarts Of
It, and carried home in the most con.
tented manner tiny pats of butter that
were put up in white boxes and tied with
pink ribbons. One young woman, evi.
IDENTIFY unused to country ways, insisted
upon having the milk direct from the
COW, and when the attendant told her
that 1t was customary to strain It, she
said she was tired Of adultcrated food
and wanted for once to have absolutely
pure milk.
Among the many fashions that the
English people have set US, and which
we have been very eager to follow, none
is 80 entirely good - this interest in
country affairs. American women as q
rule, living in the cities, are unfortu-
nately ignorant Of things pertaining to
the country, while the English girl 10

to horses, dogs and cattle. viii tell you
something funny about the dog show.
There were two Mexican hairless dogs,
and each one got the first prize. The
reason was this: One had three hairs ON
his head, the other had three hairs on his
tail, and they absolutely declined, with
all the dignity Of swell puppies, to split

The prettiest of the Jerseys at the cat
tie show was, of course, Mrs. Langtry.
and a. her namesakes were many. s6e
said that she felt as II she had quite d
family on exhibition. Women who ad.
mire Mrs. Langtry's figure are interested
In knowing what sort of stays she wears.
I'll tell them. French ones, of course
but nevertheless, those laced in the back,
just as our grandmothers wore them, and
which require the standing up while
somebody else does the lacinR. Like
many English women, the beauty has no
belief In stays that hook in front, but II
must be confessed, Notwithstanding the
desire to have good figure, there are not
very many who will submit to this tire
some operation of being laced and un.
laced as many times . day a. one Is
gowned.
The smart house shoe at present is the
one fancied by the Princess of Wales,
This has tip Of red leather, the heel of
red leather and tho back portion of
black patent leather. Just ON the toe 10
tiny steel buckle. With these are worn
black silk stockings. ALFRED shoes are
occasionally seen, but are not given the
vogue Of the black and red. Tan-colored
leather, - soft - . glove and with no
gloss, 10 made into Oxford ties and they
are to be worn with bronze silk stock
ings. They are deliciously soft, but
would scarcely stand much wear. They
were first seen last winter when worn
with . toilet consisting Of brown tulle
skirt, tan kid bodice and long tan gloves.
The bodice was really sewed on the
wearer, and the impression given was of
her having been nodded in It.

have but one rival In color, and that is
gray costumes, with which the tan color
does not look wen. Some very pro-
maucs and green gloves have
been shown, but are treated with the ut
most disdain, and very properly, too.
Green gloves never seem to suggest anv.
body but Mrs. John Bigelow, who for q
long time encased her hands in that
brilliant and, perhaps, patriotic color for
. reason which the world never under
stood though, perhaps, she did. II 10
rather curious, but all these oddities Of |
dress or conduct II traced to their oriRi. |

The s0-called eccentric being.
1t ts related Of Q very well-known |
woman In New York, who absolutely |
trades on her eccentricities, that not only
lid she 60 70 . dinner uninvited, but
meeting . messenger boy on the steps,
carrying large bouquet, assured him
hat she would deliver It TO the lady Of
he house, and 20 relieved him Of his
burden. 1t was . specially hne bunch Of
orchids, and the man who had sent II was
lurprised to see not his hostess but Mrs.
A. carrying II. He concluded that for
'ome reason she must have given It to her
yuest, but when several days passed and
here came to him NO thanks for the mag
,ihcent flowers, he determined TO find
'ut the reason. Making his visit Of In
luiry, he asked why his flowers were
Iiven away instead OF being honored by
he woman to whom he had sent
hem. Then the whole story came

letatled the story Of the flowers being
aken from him, and the hostess told OF

leedless to say that neither with or with.
